The Prophet

Fair point, but unfortunately we're in a position where we'll need to haggle on most deals.

Don't most clubs do this though. Unless they're City/Chelsea or there's a release clause.

Things must be getting desperate if we're working weekends.

Could well be the case, he's not played it particularly well at all.

It's a fair point though. Seen plenty on here refer to us as a laughing stock.

He's said we'll replace anyone leaving which implies we'll bring in at CF and a CM. We were already looking at a CB too. If we can get those three in, we still look a bit short, but it will go a long way to repairing this mess of a window.

Oh not blaming them at all, they shouldn't be in this position.

Reading between the lines, it doesn't sound like he's asked to leave as such, more that if a bid comes in he'd like to explore it.

Joking aside. Him and Nickson are just out of their depth. Very good scouting lads who are being expected to cover the Sporting Director role.

Pretty much sounds like what we're all thinking. They'll keep grafting away until the deadline.

Eddie always makes everything feel better. Calm, measure and diplomatic. He must be class to work for.

He does a blog. He's allegedly claiming Trafford wanted to come to Newcastle, but once City activated his clause, he had no choice but to go there. I find that very hard to believe.

Not sure in buying Downie's latest comments on this.

Makes Sean Casey look like David Ornstein.

Seems legit?

It's Martin Hardy so I wouldn't hold your breath.

The most important news in there: "Newcastle are close to announcing the appointment of David Hopkinson as chief executive and Ross Wilson as sporting director."

Paqueta getting cleared.

@Yorkie this you?

I genuinely thought Arsenal fans might overtake them in the cunt stakes, but they're just the pretenders. Liverpool will always be the OG cunts, it's not even a contest.

We've always maxed out our PSR spend.

It will, but it won't.

Their isn't one, they're an investment fund.

Al-Hilal coming in with £130 million plus bid according to Alex Crook.
